[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 616879, member: 15473"] My easy child is not hyperactive either but she has been diagnosed with ADD (attention deficit disorder) not ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder) back in the day that was a major distinction. Now a days they seem to skip over that part. ADHD is now her diagnosis but in the long run it doesn't matter since they tend to treat with the same medications. I have found ODD to be a wasted diagnosis. Basically my kids have other issues that lead to the ODD behaviors. If they other issues were addressed the ODD wouldn't occur. So is ODD real if it is caused by other stuff? I don't know but I know a lot of pediatric docs use it when they don't know what else to. I wouldn't buy that story from a 12 year old either. Have you talked to the cops who pulled him in? They would be better able to give you the lowdown. All of that is kind of beside the point since he snuck out of a house and went to a strangers home. He put himself in the situation. Alcohol was the least of his worries he could have been raped or kidnapped or worse. As for husband my opinion is regardless of his fabulous insurance that relationship isn't healthy for you. It isn't healthy for a 12 year old or any kid either. Knowing that people are willing to give up on you because you are a difficult child is certainly not doing anything to make things better. [/QUOTE]
